tmp files in Fonts

[Norman]

I have never experience this before and wonder if someone know why. I search
for tmp files and folders and find several in the fonts folder. But what is
confusing is that if I open the fonts folder, they are not shown.

Check your system for unwelcome and unwanted guests. Some recent malware
installs itself in and uses the Fonts folder.

Thanks Mike,
I ran AdAware and Spybot, nothing found.

I did that search again and they have now stopped showing up there. Best
guess is that I had something going on that I decided to run a restore.
Maybe I had what you suggest and the restore killed it.
If they start showing up in the fonts folder via tmp search again I'll post
back.
Thanks again,
Norman
